I'm an E3 visa holder, married to a US citizen, living in the US. We received our notice to appear for our interview to Adjust Status. We have four month old twins, and no family in this part of the country. Will they allow us to bring the babies in with us?

Thanks for your help,

You don't have to leave the country and if you did then you would abandon your green card application so don't do that, however if you are currently working through your E3 then you will need to take an unpaid leave of absence from when it expires until you have your EAD in hand.

When did you have your biometrics appointment and what does the rest of your timeline look like? It should only take 60-90 days from the receipt of your I-765 to get your EAD.

Source: Am going through the exact same thing minus the child

I initially submitted all the forms on Nov. 16 2013, had the biometric Dec. 26 2013.

Really hope I get it soon as unpaid LOA will be rough!

Thanks for your response - good luck with your application.

Hi guys,

My situation

- I am an Australian citizen in the US.

- originally entered under an E3 visa

- married a US citizen in 2013 (we now have a [uS Citizen] child together)

- have submitted my I-485, I-130 & I-765

I am yet to receive a decision from the USCIS regarding employment authorization or anything else. I had a request for information which I responded to in less than 36 hours, and I've had my biometric scan.

What are my options if my authorization hasn't come through when my E3 visa expires. Do i have to leave the country until authorization comes through?

Please let me know your thoughts!

Thanks!

Good afternoon,

This is my first post, and I have a question for y'all.

I am an Australian citizen currently living and working in the US under an E-3 visa (set to expire March 2014). I will be marrying my US Citizen fiancee in March, 2013. I plan to file for a CR-1 shortly after getting married. My fiance is doing a short semester in Australia for her university degree, and I plan to briefly travel with her to Australia, returning to the US after approximately 10 days, in May, 2013.

I understand that there are issues with living and working in the US under an E-3 visa, and travelling while an CR-1 application is in progress.

Will there be an issue if I submit our application for my CR-1 in March (immediately after we get married), and we then travel to Australia in May? Or should we delay submitting the CR-1 application until I return to the US after the short trip to Australia?

We are eager to get the application process started ASAP, but do not want to risk issues with getting back into the US under my E-3, as this would not be great from an employment standpoint. However, would it be considered disingenuous to not file our CR-1 application until May (approximately 2 months after we get married)?

I appreciate any suggestions or advice y'all could give me.

Thanks!
